Richard frowned. “Win your heart? Why?”
“Because you have feelings for me, but I haven’t agreed to it.”
Pearl thought about it. After enduring Richard’s bullying for so long, she finally had the chance to turn
the tables.
“I’ve never done that.” It was something he hadn’t experienced before.
Pearl obviously didn’t believe him. “Never? How’s that even possible? Weren’t you in a relationship
before this?”
“She confessed to me, and we got together because I like her too.”
Pearl was excited when she heard that, and she smiled. “So, I’m the first person you’ve truly fallen for?
What an honor.”
“So what?”
“So, I’m giving you permission to pursue me.”
Richard didn’t know how to react to that, but seeing her smile, he decided to embrace the opportunity.
“Fine.

Pearl couldn’t help but laugh at his awkward expression. “I never thought I’d see you with any
expression other than cool, indifferent, or annoyed.”
Richard suddenly leaned in and playfully pinched her chin, his usual cold expression returning. “Say
that again.”
Pearl froze. “No… nothing.” She wasn’t about to fall for that.
“Alright, I need to go back to the office for a meeting. Rest well.” Richard let go and took a few steps
back, giving her space.
“Alright.”
Once Richard left, Pearl called Wayne. “Hey.”
“What’s going on? Are you in trouble?”
“Is Fortune Hospital the one Cerubleu invested in?”
Wayne didn’t understand why she was suddenly asking about the hospital, so he asked, “Yes. Are you
sick? Why are you asking about a hospital?”
“I need to transfer someone’s mother to that hospital, so I need you to help me contact the director.”
Wayne was still confused but did as he was told.
After hanging up, Pearl switched on her laptop and bypassed the hospital’s firewall, then accessed the
intranet. She tried to search for information about Renee and her mother to facilitate the transfer, but
after searching for a long time, she couldn’t find anything.
What was going on? Could it be…
She had a bad feeling but also considered she might be overthinking things.
After leaving the intranet, Pearl planned to visit the hospital’s Information Department in person, but
she ran into Hugo at the door. novelbin
“Where are you going?”
Pearl stretched and pretended nothing was going on. “I was just taking a walk.”
“How did you manage to find your way here during a casual walk? You’re quite the wanderer.”
Hugo clearly didn’t buy her explanation and appeared to be aware of her intentions, but he chose to
observe for now, not wanting to expose her.
“Alright, I’m going back to my room to take a nap.” Pearl chuckled and began walking away.
